An Uui'ortuBite Affair.

On Saturday last, Mr.. j, A. Mar.
tin Jr, a popular young merchant Of
| Hardy Station, shot and killed John
| Booker, coiored. From all that we
can gather, pertaining to the trans
action, it would seem that Booker
Went into Martins store, and found
the proprietor in the house alone.
Booker was indebted to Martin for
goods, and was asked by the latter
when he WAS going to settle up.
From this quarrel finally arose,
which eliminated as Booker seizing
a hatchet and advancing on Martin
when the latter drew n pistol and
fired with fatal effect This man
Booker, was a giant, in his physical
proportions, and presumed on his
superior size aud strength to hulldoae
and impose upon the colored people
in the community where he lived,
and the news Of his death was receiy-
ed with a feeling of relief by quite a
number Of his own color. He has
been known to take loose the swing
le-tree from the plow. and with this
weapon to drive his own father from
the field that they cultivated. His
father told Mr.. Martin, after the death
othis son, that under the circumstan-
ces he did not blame in the least, and
that knowing the disposition of bis
son, he feltno surprise at the manner
oihlsHeath. From this it appears
thatMaliiH acted solelyin salf-defence
and was clearly iustifable. Neverthe-

Tne stock Law.

This we consider question of the
very gravest Importance to the far
mers Of this county and we would
ike to have the subject well venti-
lated and thoroughly discussed. We
know this to be a fact, that in the
hlIl lands Of this county, in a ma
Jorlty OF cases a farmer tries to fence
great deal more land than he culti-
Yates. Wei, of course, the addition
al fence required, is just so much
needless expense, and the fences of
thiS county, the repairing and keep
lhg tlem upis one of the heaviest bur
dcha the farmer is called upon to
Dear. The question then is, would it
be better to require every man to
conIlhe his own stock, or would it be
better to require him to protect his
crop by fencing against the world
When it comes down to hogs, this
subject will admit of no discussion.
The annual cost to the farmers of this
county OF keeping up and repairing
FENCES amounts to more than the
value of the annual crop ofhogs. We
would like for the Alliance to take
up this question, and we hereby in
Vlte communications from anybody

For some time tobacco chewershave
known that tobacco that is free from
those ingredients which add a little
to its appearance but detract from its
real merit is much the best for con-
stant chewing. These facts, with the
high standard attained by Arkansas
traveller Chewing Tobacco, accounts
for the constantly increasing demand
for this excellent grade of chewing
Tobacco. The manufactures of Arkan-

JUDGE loANEs

One of the duties that will deyolvt
upon the Governor this winter, vii
be the nomination of a successor tc
our present Circuit Judge Hon. A.
| 4. hoane, whose first term will ex.
pire early next year. From the best
/ information we can obtain, we thii K
it altogether probable may, mote
| than probable that the Governor
will nominate Judge Roane to be
his own successor. He has been en-
dorsed and recommended for reap
Fpointment by a majority of the men,
bers ofthe Bars of five of the seven
counties of the District, and by many
other prominent citizens not of the
legal profession, but who have
watched and admired his course up
on the bench. In one of the except
ed counties he is recommended by
several Of the members of the Bar,
and under all the circumstances we
think it hardly likely that there will
be any other APPLICANT for the position.
We have heard one other gentleman
spoken of, and las warm friends in
this county both at the Bar and a.
mong laymen, who would rejoice in
his promotion, but we doubt if he
will permit his name to go before the
Governor, in view of the numerous
recommendations Of the Bar and
other citizens Of the District for the
reappointment of Judge Roane. And
besides, Judge Roane has enforced the
law with such tirmness, fairness and
impartiality--alWays when proper.

1T does seem unto this GAzETEFR
that If there ever was burnt child
who should have a wholesome dread
of fire, Grenada is pre-eminently that
child. Experience is costly teach
er, as the people of this town can
testify, but If seems that notwith-
standing the high price we have paid
for our knowledge on this subject,
the lesson has been thrown away.
1T seems that we have just settled
down into chronic state of careless
ness, from which we will some day
be rudely awakened. to find our town
once more laid in ashes. That Incl
dent Of last Sunday should be warn
ing sufficient to any ordinary com
munlty of reasonably careful people
TO prepare against any possible repeti-
ton OF the scenes Of August 10th 1854.
We are thoroughly convinced that
the time of peace is the time to make
Wariike preparations, and that an
ounce of prevention, is worth sever
al carloads Of cure. We hope the
"powers that be'will heed this note Of
warning and take some steps looking
to the protection of our city from the
destruction fire -fend.
